Numbers 7

1 On the day that Moses completed the tabernacle, he anointed it and set it apart to Yahweh, together with all of its furnishings. He did the same for the altar and all its utensils. He anointed them and set them apart to Yahweh.

And when Moses had put up the House completely, and had put oil on it and made it holy, with all the things in it, and had made the altar and all its vessels holy with oil;

2 On that day, the leaders of Israel, the heads of their ancestor's families, offered sacrifices. These men were leading the tribes. They had overseen the counting of the men in the census.

Then the chiefs of Israel, the heads of their fathers' houses, made offerings; these were the chiefs of the tribes, who were over those who were numbered.

3 They brought their offerings before Yahweh. They brought six covered carts and twelve oxen. They brought one cart for every two leaders, and each leader brought one ox. They presented these things in front of the tabernacle.

And they came with their offerings before the Lord, six covered carts and twelve oxen; a cart for every two of the chiefs, and for every one an ox.

4 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,

And the Lord said to Moses,

5 “Accept the offerings from them and use the offerings for the work in the tent of meeting. Give the offerings to the Levites, to each one as his work needs them.”

Take the things from them, to be used for the work of the Tent of meeting; and give them to the Levites, to every man what is needed for his work.

6 Moses took the carts and the oxen, and he gave them to the Levites.

So Moses took the carts and the oxen and gave them to the Levites.

7 He gave two carts and four oxen to the descendants of Gershon, because of what their work needed.

Two carts and four oxen he gave to the sons of Gershon for their work;

8 He gave four carts and eight oxen to the descendants of Merari, in the care of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest. He did this because of what their work required.

And four carts and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari for their work, under the direction of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.

9 But he gave none of those things to the descendants of Kohath, because theirs would be the work related to the things that belong to Yahweh that they would carry on their own shoulders.

But to the sons of Kohath he gave nothing; because they had the care of the holy place, taking it about on their backs.

10 The leaders offered their goods for the dedication of the altar on the day that Moses anointed the altar. The leaders offered their sacrifices in front of the altar.

And the chiefs gave an offering for the altar on the day when the holy oil was put on it; they made their offering before the altar.

11 Yahweh said to Moses, “Each leader must offer on his own day his sacrifice for the dedication of the altar.”

And the Lord said to Moses, Let every chief on his day give his offering to make the altar holy.
